Hemorrhoids can be painful both during an attack and following surgery. A good orthopedic cushion can be a simple solution to relieve pain when sitting.

But which cushion should you choose? We've done the hard work for you and scoured each cushion's features and online reviews to give you our top 3.

#1. Litsop orthopedic cushion

• Rating: 4.4⭐ (1,448 Amazon reviews)
  
• Price: €36.99 
• Material: memory foam
• Dimensions: 45 * 39.5 * 9 cm
• Machine washable: yes
• Other features: non-slip bottom to limit movement

The Litsop orthopedic cushion is the best-seller in its category on Amazon. It benefits from extremely positive customer reviews:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Comfortable and compliant"
"Bought following an operation, this cushion is ideal to avoid friction"
Dominique, Amazon review left January 28, 2025

A small number of 1-star reviews (4% of reviews) complain, however, that the cushion can become too flat after a while.

⭐ "Sags very quickly"
"At first Inflating, nice color but when you sit on it gets flat very quickly, disappointed, do not recommend."
ad. lenz, Amazon review left January 6, 2025

However, the Litsop cushion remains our number 1 recommendation, thanks to the choice of memory foam and the large number of positive reviews.

#2. Emoobin orthopedic hemorrhoid cushion for office chair

• Rating: 4.3⭐ (1,618 Amazon reviews)
  
• Price: €29.15 
• Material: memory foam
• Dimensions: 45 * 35.5 * 6.6 cm
• Machine-washable: yes (detachable cover)
• Other features: non-slip bottom to limit movement

The Emoobin cushion is also an Amazon bestseller in its category. However, it only takes second place in our ranking because :

• Amazon reviews are slightly more negative than for the Litsop cushion
• The Emoobin cushion is thinner than the Litsop cushion, offering slightly less support (6.6 cm thick instead of 9 cm).

However, this orthopedic cushion benefits from excellent user feedback:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Very useful after an operation"
"After haemorrhoid surgery, this cushion has really come in handy. Doesn't sag, fits on any seat, so really very practical "

Some users complain about the quality of the foam:

⭐⭐ "Not memory foam?"
"The foam is firm but returns instantly to position after compression (so not the inertia normally expected of so-called memory foam)."

#3. Cushion Hemorrhoid Ring - 5 STARS UNITED

• Rating: 4.2⭐ (11,856 Amazon reviews)
  
• Price: €31.90 
• Material: memory foam
• Dimensions: 40 * 33 * 7 cm
• Machine-washable: yes (detachable cover)
• Other features: non-slip bottom to limit movement

The 5 STARS UNITED cushion receives (by far) the most Amazon reviews, with over 11,000 reviews collected.

However, it is only in 3rd place on our podium, for the following reasons:

• Its average rating is a little lower than the two previous cushions.
• This is the smallest of the three cushions we suggest, being less long, wide and thick than the Litsop cushion.

However, this ring cushion shines thanks to a number of extremely positive testimonials:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Relieves sitting"
"Very good cushion, relieves sitting very well after hemorrhoid surgery"
Isabelle FELICITEAmazon review left on April 19, 2025

However, several reviews complain that the cushion is too soft and packs easily :

⭐ "Useless"
"This cousin is too soft it settles when sitting and the area to be protected touches the seat. The cushion is not wide enough. The price is very high I sent the product back immediately."
Bebabebo, Amazon review left on October 21, 2023

Conclusion

Whether you're suffering from hemorrhoids or post-operative pain, there are many orthopedic cushions available to relieve your sitting posture. We recommend that you choose a memory foam cushion of sufficient thickness to provide good support. If you're not convinced on the first try, don't hesitate to return the cushion and try another.

And of course, if your pain persists or becomes too severe, consult a healthcare professional for medical advice!
